J. P. Zenger Books publishes books that deserve to exist.

We’re a small, independent imprint dedicated to bringing forward works that might otherwise go unheard—ideas that challenge, stories that resonate, voices that endure. Our focus is simple: publish books that matter, with the care and conviction they deserve.
